Wymondley is a small civil parish in North Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England, made up of the adjacent settlements of Great Wymondley and Little Wymondley. It sits on gently rolling arable countryside a few miles south‑east of Hitchin and west of Letchworth Garden City, retaining a rural feel of village greens, timber‑framed cottages and period farm buildings while being within easy reach of the commuter belt.
Its history is visibly layered: medieval churches and listed houses stand alongside earthworks that hint at an earlier landscape, and the area has a notable Nonconformist tradition associated with a dissenting academy often known locally as Wymondley College. Agriculture long dominated the local economy, though today many residents commute to nearby towns, and the parish is appreciated for its quiet lanes, hedged fields and sense of village community.
